    "AVG sees mobile as a strategic focus area and since the launch of our first mobile
security product in 2010, we have seen immense growth in this area," said JR Smith, CEO of
AVG Technologies. "We were the first to provide a free security app for Android devices
and today we are very excited to announce a new sleeker and easier to use interface on our
very popular Android AntiVirus product. Also today we are launching AVG Safe Browser for
iOS, delivering against our multiplatform strategy. This new browser brings AVG's
LinkScanner(R) and AVG Do Not Track technology to the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch."

    Updated AntiVirus for Android

    The main eye catcher in AVG AntiVirus for Android version 3.0.2 is the new user
interface. Based on extensive user feedback, the new design brings a fresh look and feel
and easier to use app.

       
        - New design: sleeker & easier-to-use interface
        - Faster and more efficient access to features, tools and sub-categories
        - New dashboard
        - New categories & menus

    Also new in this version is the 'widget' feature which allows users to monitor and
interact with the features and indicators without the need to open the app itself. Users
can customize the widget to provide quick access to the features and information they
prefer on the home screen.

    These changes are in addition to the features that made AVG AntiVirus for Android such
a popular app:

       
        - Protection - the App and File Scanner protect the mobile device against
          threats, the Settings Scanner helps to optimize security, SMS Filtering to keep
          messaging free of scams and Safe Web Surfing protects against suspicious sites before
          a user lands on them.
        - Performance - Tune Up and Task Killer optimize performance.
        - Anti-theft - Find and protect a phone if lost or stolen by locating, locking,
          displaying an onscreen message and wiping it.
        - Privacy - App Locker protects your apps from prying eyes by enabling you to
          lock and secure them individually from being accessed by other people using your
          phone.

    Introducing AVG Safe Browser for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

    AVG Safe Browser for iOS is a new browser for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users who
are concerned about privacy and identity threats online. It protects users from online
scams and attacks which can occur on any platform with access to the web. Sites that are
known to be malicious or contain scams or malware will be blocked using data provided by
AVG's LinkScanner technology. This comes on top of the built-in mobile security provided
by the operating system.

    AVG Safe Browser for iOS also features AVG Do Not Track technology to inform the user
which sites are tracking them online and allowing the user to block the ad tracking. AVG
believes that making users aware of online privacy is a logical extension to its leading
security products. While tracking is not inherently bad, it can be used to collect and
share data with third-party companies, a practice that consumers are growing increasingly
concerned and more aware of. The new AVG Do Not Track feature will be on by default and
will enable users to actively block some advertising networks from sharing data.
